Today was sunny and beautiful, alot of farmers finally got a chance to get an upclose look at their fields and it is not a pretty site. Corn fields have standing water and look like mini lakes. Thank goodness today was sunny and bright with no rain. |
One of my supervisors was home today sandbagging his house. Sand is getting scarce so he bought bags and bags of top soil to put against the foundation, He then covered it with plastic tarp. After the floods he can open the bags and use the topsoil for the yard!! I did get to run some cold drinks over to him today!
